Officially Winter :)

Hey Guys!!

So, today is officially the 1st day of winter!!! Woop!

Now, although it's not really my favourite season, I still get excited about things like: 

- Wearing layers without sweating like a pig :O
- Drinking endless cups of tea and hot chocolate without being judged ;)
- Christmassey scents <3
- The cold (I know the majority of people loove the heat, but nahh :) )

Am I the only one though who thought that winter was already here and that as soon as bonfire night is over and done with that it's automatically winter?

So I didn't blog yesterday as I thought I'd give myself a little break to try and come up with more blog ideas not only for the rest of the month but also for next month like hauls, advice etc. but if you can think of anything, please let me know in the comments and I'll get back to you. It really would help both me and you, because I don't know what you lot want to be reading as I'm just writing what I think you'd like, but I am enjoying it don't get me wrong :D Also, don't forget to subscribe for more up-to-date blog posts!

So yeah, happy Winter everybody! :)

Thanks guys!!

See you later.

Foundation Friday.

Hey Guys!

Happy Friday! Woop! Woop! The weekend is practically here :)

So, I thought today I'd give you a little insight what foundation I use everyday and then when I go out with friends etc. so let's get started! :D

My typical every day, or when I can be bothered to put make-up on, I'll always use my LOreal Paris True Match Foundation. This foundation is amazing, like really. Before other foundations that I've used don't really agree with my skin as I literally have crap skin...I get an oily t-zone but at the same time I get dry at the end of my nose and sometimes my cheek so I really do have combination skin. 

But, because this foundation is very liquidy unlike the Rimmel London Wake Me up Foundation which is more dense and has to be worked more into the skin to look 'flawless' but with the LOreal one, it hardly needs any work at all. It doesn't cling to my dry nose and only slightly mattifies my t-zone but that can be covered up by my Rimmel London Stay Matte powder.

On weekends or whenever I go out, I'll use something that has more of a lasting finish to it and that doesn't require too much powder to hide my shiny face :3 so I'll use my Rimmel London Match perfection Foundation. The consistency is a little bit harder to work with than my LOreal True Match Foundation but this means you can work it into the skin and it's build-able!

All of these foundations are much more affordable than the high brand ones :) If there are any other foundations that you think I'll like, please leave them in the comments box below and I'll be sure to check them out.

Thanks guys!!

See you later.

Xmas Tag.

Hey Guys!!

So today I thought I'd make you all, and even me, feel more Christmassey by doing a Xmas tag. Okayy, let's get cracking! ;) get it, cracking - crackers. Okay...never mind.

These questions were based on this Christmas video from Zoella.


Question 1 - When do you start getting excited about Christmas?

Well, I personally get excited for Christmas around the start of November but as my dad's birthday is at the end of November, we're not allowed to decorate the house until his birthday has gone and then we go bat shit crazy!! hahaa :D 

Question 2 - Do you still have advent calenders?

This year is the first year EVER that I haven't had an advent calender... I know :'( but it's mainly because I really wanted a change and wanted to get a beauty one as I'm a fashion/beauty blogger I wanted to put some of my new discoveries on here and sharing them with you lot, but they were either waaayyy too much money or they hadn't got any in stock. But, I think it's a bit too late now to buy an advent so...

Question 3 - What are your favourite Christmas films?

Hands down the Grinch. Slowly followed by Elf, but I just bloody love the Grinch. Like...oh my god :'D I'm not one of these people who sits and watches the soppy Christmas films like The Holiday or Love Actually. I mean, don't get me wrong they're good films, but they don't make me feel Christmassey...

Question 4 - Do you have any funny Christmas memories?

Nope. Not that I can think of. My family are quite traditional and we just have a laugh together and I think those memories should be kept with us.

Question 5 - Talk us through your typical Christmas day?

Well, before me and my sister used to wake up at around 5, sneak downstairs and look at all of our presents, but because I'm slightly getting a bit more lazy ;) now when I'd wake around 8, go downstairs and my family would be sitting next to their pile of presents. Then we'd open half of them, have a bacon sandwich and a cup of tea and carry on opening our presents. After that, wed go to my nans where I'd see the rest of my family and we'd have a massive lunch and be really festive and shit :D

Question 6 - What do you eat for Christmas dinner?

Everything and anything...apart from sprouts...and parsnips...so not anything and everything...awks. But yeah, we normally have about 3 or 4 different meats, lots and lots of veggies and Yorkshire puddings and stuffing but because my nan is a veggie, we have an alternative for her. We'll then have Christmas pudding, mince pies, Yule logs etc... and after that we'll have a massive cheese board and I'd probably have put on an extra couple of pounds...not sorry :D

Question 7 - Do you have any Christmas traditions?

Our Christmas mornings and opening of our presents is probably a tradition and we always go to my nans but apart from that there's nothing else. I'm proper boring aren't I?!?!

Question 8 - Which are your favourite Christmas songs?

To be honest, I looovveee any Christmas song, whether it's the classic white girl Mariah Carey tune or Shakin' Stevens, there isn't any Christmas song that I don't enjoy. haha :)

Question 9 - What is the best Christmas present you've ever received?

Oh my god...is it bad that I don't pick my favourite present...I'm just sooo grateful that I even received presents that I find it hard to pick my favourite one, but anything to do with food, fashion or make-up, I'm a happy bunny :3

Question 10 - Real or fake Christmas tree?

Personally, I bloody love real Christmas trees, but because some of my family members get itchy around them, we've always had to have fake ones and even though I still feel festive with a fake tree, when I get my own place, I WILL get a real one :))

Okay that's all for today guys :) let me know what you would've answered in the comments below and we can compare.

Thanks guys!!

See you later.

Woman crush Wednesday.

Hey guys!!

Happy hump day! :D (Google it if you don't know)

Like on Instagram, I thought I'd do my Woman Crush Wednesday but in blog form, now if you don't know or haven't heard what this is, it's basically a day dedicated to showing your love for your favourite woman of the week, whether that be a family member, a celebrity whatever you want but it has to be of a woman origin :) but don't fear Monday is the day dedicated for your man of the week 'Man crush Monday', but because it's Wednesday, it would only be right.

Anyway, my Woman crush for this Wednesday is Miss Taylor Swift <3 <3

Can we all just take a minute, like seriously. Gorgeous. Talented. Amazing. Say whattt?!?!?!?


As well as her stunning face, she's also pretty talented. I know right?!? :D

Her album 1989 is her fifth studio album and sold 1.287 million in the first week of it's release. If that doesn't impress you, I don't know what will.

In the comments below, let me know who you're Woman crush Wednesday is and what you're favourite song/s of her album is.

Thanks guys!!

See you later.

Magazine of the Month.

Hey Guys!!

This is a weekly magazine and throughout this month, I've bought every one this month and it hasn't disappointed. Mainly based around fashion, like every other magazine, it also involves celebrity stories, fashion and make-up. My perfect magazine. 

If you'd like to subscribe to Look Magazine for £13.99 and magazines will be sent on a weekly basis click here 

If there are any magazines that you like to read, please leave them in the comments.I know it's only been a quick one but I think I've got a cold coming on sooo I've been drinking peppermint tea for ages and it's making me slightly sleepy. Also, if you have any remedies for a cold, they'd also be appreciated in the comments :)

Hope you've all had a great day and I'll see you later :)

15 Facts about Me.

Hey Guys!!

Back again :)

As it's the 15th December (10 more days til the big day!!), I thought I'd give you gorgeous lot a bit more info about me so here are 15 facts about me:

1) I was born on the 15th September 1995, making me 19 :D

2) I am a Virgo.

3) My absolute favourite food in the world is burgers. No matter where from or what's on it. I mean, it's a warm sandwich...hello??? After this post, a burger is definitely on the cards :3

4) My favourite animal is the dog. I know. A bit boring. I mean, why couldn't it be more exotic like a lion or an iguana. Nope. Completely content with dogs, I mean, I grew up with Rottweilers so...

5) I have Ornithophobia and Arachnophobia. Google it.

6) I am right handed but always had this sort of dream of being able to write with my left hand as well, like being ambidextrous. But no... still can't do it :(

7) I have quite a large family. I have a mom, dad, 2 sisters, 4 brothers, step-dad, auntie, 2 nans, 2 granddads and 5 cousins who I keep in regular contact with. Yep. Alot of birthdays to remember :'D

8) I live in a town in the West Midlands called Walsall. Not many people have heard of it at all, but we're famous for making saddles for horses, hence why we have the Saddler's Centre (a shopping centre)

9) I'm only 5 foot 3.

10) I absolutely looove travelling. I've been to Italy, New York, Canada, Sweden, Spain, Tunisia, Russia and Denmark to name just a few but I'd love to travel more!

11) My guilty pleasure is One Direction. Sorry. Harry Styles. Not sorry.

12) I don't really have a favourite genre of music. My iPod can go from Elvis to Slipknot to Taylor Swift haha :)

13) I looooove films. Mainly horror films though.

14) I honestly don't know what to do with my life, like at all. I tried to go to uni, that didn't work, I hated school. The only thing that's been proper constant in my life that I've enjoyed is make-up and fashion ;)

15) Finally, I knit. My nan taught me when we were on our way to New York as it would've took us 5/6 days on a cruise so to pass the time, she taught me how to knit and secretly, I love it. Shhhh....

Thank you guys for reading my facts :D 

See you guys later.

Lazy Sunday.

Hey Guys!!

Bet you didn't expect to see me here today. Well I thought I'd be more productive with my day, even though it's Sunday, and be more...ermm...what's the word. Crap! It'll come to me in a bit.

Anyway, I thought I'd give you a little glimpse into what I do nearly every Sunday if I don't have that much to do so let's get started.

First of all, I don't set my alarm. I know. This is probably one of the best feelings in the world when you don't have to worry about emails, meetings etc. and instead you can pig out in your onesie and watch films. I normally wake up any time between 10 and 12, but today I woke up at half 12 meaning I missed Sunday Brunch which is what I normally watch on Sunday mornings with a bacon sandwich and a cup of tea. 

When that finishes, my dad normally catches up with some programmes that he's recorded so I go into our other living room and stick a DVD on and in this case, it's The IT Crowd. If you haven't watched it before, click the link and it'll take you to the Wikipedia page where it gives you an insight into what it's about! :D 

Whilst I'm watching a DVD, I'll be helping out making the Sunday Roast, which is kind of like Thanksgiving in the USA but definitely not as big or hyped about and we normally have some form of meat, veg and pots smothered in gravy :P 

Constant! The words constant :D Told you it'll come to me soon :) Anyway...

After that's been demolished, I'll watch some TV with my dad and then depending on what's on, I'll either go and clean my room, check emails, listen to music etc. until I'm tired and then I'll go to bed :)

Although this might seem quite boring to many of you, this is my way of relaxing with my family. Oh! Forgot to tell you as well, normally we go and visit my nan and granddad every other Sunday for Sunday lunch at theirs and my cousins are there as well as my Auntie and we'll have soooo much food, we'll come back at about half 5 and I won't eat til the next day! 

Yeah, I hope you enjoyed reading about my lazy Sunday :) In the comments, tell me about what you get up to on your lazy Sunday or even tell me on my details below!

Thank you sooo much!!

See you guys later.

Secret Project :)

Hey Guys!!

So...I've kind of took on a secret project that's happening as we speak :D

Personally, I've been wanting to do this for soooo long and I've finally decided that now is the right time to commit to things and as you know from my previous blogs, I haven't exactly been the most committed person ever, but you know, you love me! Haha! :D 

So, I don't want to give too much away and trust me I reaaalllyyyy want to share this with you amazing lot but I want it to be a surprise and don't worry, I WILL do a post when I feel the time is right to announce what my secret project is :) 

So I hope you'll stick with me long enough to eventually see what my secret project is and that you'll support me, which I have no doubt in my mind that you won't.

Okay guys, I think I'll leave it there for now, but I'll be back soon.

Thank you sooo much!!

See you guys later.
